Right now I have a Nokia 8 and it cannot be rooted because the bootloader cannot be unlocked. Which sucks a lot.

Are there any manufacturers that make Android phones that are easy to root and have good support for LineageOS or something similar?

    I’m a fan of this, you can get a 2 year old popular phone model for less than $200 now, and chances are it’ll have a well supported degoogled rom.

      Though I would personally get one with either a removable battery or one that’s easy to disassemble, since the battery is almost always the first to fail in a device. That way you can use the second hand device for much longer by getting batteries from reputable third parties.
